This class is a continuation of our Pax Summer Read-A-Long Camp. I recommend students take part one before continuing on with us. This class starts at Chapter 26 and will finish our book. You can find Part One here: https://outschool.com/classes/summer-camp-read-a-long-ages-8-12-pax-by-sara-pennypacker-book-one-5bF1fsey This class leads to weeks 3 and 4, as we read the second book in the series, Pax Journey Home.

It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you and your favorite student(s). I have over 20 years of teaching experience, from Pre-K through Graduate School. I am a former Professor and was the History Department Chair /History teacher at the High School Level for 10 years. I am also a home school mom, past and present. I have learned so much spending many years in multiple educational settings, but I have learned even more as the mother of seven beautiful kids (many now adults). I also take students and parents overseas on Educational Tours and have been blessed to travel to such places as China, Japan, Mexico, Paris, Rome, and Greece. My teaching style is varied. I try to use as many techniques and learning styles in each of my classes as possible. My two youngest children are Special Needs (Autistic, Apraxic, Cognitive and Auditory Delays). Working with my own children has taught me that education must be personalized to each learner for maximum impact. I encourage all students and their parents to contact me so that we can tailor each of my classes to your strengths and those skills you hope to work on the most. Please note that I will allow higher level students who are underage in my classes, or older students who have difficulties in class that are more suited to their level. Please contact me to discuss. I look forward to meeting you all.
Homework Offered
Students will have optional handouts and can complete the Kahoot Quiz. I am structuring this to be a fun camp that does not feel like learning, so my hope is they do what brings them joy, no requirements.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

This book does have some very sad moments in it. Yes, it is about adventure and the miracle of family, but it is also about loss. Many students ages 8-12 read this book without any problems but if you have a very sensitive learner, I recommend you look ahead of time and plan to have discussions on the book.
